A must own for the long suffering Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Cavaliers Fan. (Long suffering - is there any other kind?)"Red Right 88", "The Drive", "The Shot", "The Fumble" and "Quitness". These words are well known to any fan who, like me, grew up living and dying, laughing and crying with the Cleveland Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. It hasn't been all bad though - words like "Midges" "The Miracle of Richfield" and "Bernie Kosar" will bring a smile to even the most jaded fan.You will enjoy this look at events in Cleveland sports history - going all the way back to 1899 (The Great Cy Young Giveaway). It looks at the big stories, but also some small ones:What did Mike Hargrove get hit with on 10 cent beer night?What do Mrs. Grady Sizemore, Mrs. Tim Couch and Mrs. Jeff Garcia have in common?What was William Green wearing when he got pulled over? (A clue - just about as much as Mrs. Grady Sizemore, Mrs. Tim Couch and Mrs. Jeff Garcia wore when they became famous... but he didn't look nearly as good).The book is presented from the point of view of a lifelong fan. It's a humorous look at the history - because let's face it: If I can't LMAO, I'm going to CMAO.If you can't say "Pittsburgh Steelers" without throwing up a little in your mouth, this book is for you. If you've never called the Baltimore Ravens anything nicer than Ratbirds, this book is for you. If you think Art Modell should make the hall of fame immediately after his eternal home freezes over, this book is for you.If you refuse to buy a Samsung Galaxy because LeDouchy McQuitness now advertises them, this book is for you.If you wept tears of joy when the New England Patriots lost their perfect season to Eli Manning, this book is for you.If you're Bill Belichick, Cici Boozer, Gloria James, David Modell, Ben Roethlisberger, Derek Anderson or Dwayne Wade you might want to look elsewhere.If you just want to know more about what it feels like to grow up rooting for Cleveland sports, this book is definitely for you.… (meer)
